Hot Jupiters are gas giants under intense stellar radiation with short orbital periods of only a few days. Due to their large radii, hot temperatures, and large scale heights, hot Jupiters can be observationally characterised in detail through spectroscopy over an entire orbital phase. Transmission spectroscopy is one of the tools that aid us in understanding the complex chemistry of exoplanet atm
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Kullstorlek och förmågan att hålla värme Direkt efter kläckning har de flesta fågelungar svårt att hålla en jämn kroppstemperatur (termoreglera) i en kallare omgivning. Förmågan att termoreglera uppkommer eller utvecklas någon gång under ungarnas första tid i livet och snart är de mer eller mindre jämnvarma. Förmågan att hålla en jämn kroppstemperatur tidigt iAbstract Most birds are not capable of maintaining core body temperature when exposed to cold ambient temperatures directly after hatching. As postnatal development continues the thermoregulatory capacity begins to form, and eventually nestlings become homeothermic. Many factors, such as predation, latitude and foraging mode, may influence this development of homeothermy, but to my knowledge no s
The privatization of elderly care system occurred in response to an economical crisis as well as political decisions made in the early 1990‘s. Since the economic crisis was supposed to have a negative impact on quality of elderly care services, the government adopted different policies such as New Public Management strategies, the introduction of a unit price for all care services, and the law imp

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Trots att venös blodpropp (venös tromboembolism [VTE]) är en viktig orsak till sjuklighet och dödlighet är data ofullständiga gällande dess förekomst och bakomliggande riskfaktorer hos oselekterade patienter. I begreppet VTE inkluderas blodproppar i benets djupa ådror (djup ventrombos [DVT]) och i lungorna (lungemboli [LE]). Insjuknandefrekvens i VTE varierar mDespite the fact that venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality there is still insufficient information on VTE risk factors and patient characteristics in the general population. Previously published incidences of VTE (deep venous thrombosis [DVT] and pulmonary embolism [PE]) vary from 71 to 192 per 100,000 individuals per year. Incidences of DVT and PE have bee
This essay examines European Union policy-making in terms of its aims of promoting the Common Good of its citizens. It uses REACH, the new chemical legislation as a case study, since it is a good example of a piece of legislation which has both environmental and economic consequences, and hence pose great problems for legislators in deciding which of the aims for the Common Good to prioritize. It
After having worked with a project regarding custody procedures and detention facilities where the goal was to give recommendations to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (Macedonia) on issues which needed to be changed for them to fulfil the European minimum standard, I doubted that there really existed any European minimum standards. Therefore, I studied Swedish, British, French and Europe
In Swedish law boys under the age of 18 can legally be circumcised by a certified doctor or a person with a special permission from the welfare board. This is a measure to prevent ignorant people from performing circumcision on boys in unsterile environment and without painkillers. The law has brought up a debate questioning if circumcision should be legal at all in Sweden. The network SNOP – Säg
This paper aims to investigate the causal relationship between maternal education and preventive behaviour. For this purpose, I consider the education reform implemented in Zimbabwe in 1980 that enabled students at age 15 and below to participate in secondary education. By using this age cutoff as an exogenous exposure to the education policy, I obtain causal estimates of schooling on health outco
Min undersökning går ut på att undersöka vilken påverkan symfonisk spelmusik kan ha på ungdomars musiksmak. Under en sonderande undersökning upptäckte jag att onlinespelet World of Warcraft var vanligt förekommande bland unga spelare och eftersom detta spel har symfonisk musik baserar jag min undersökning på World of Warcraft. Sex kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer utförs med ungdomar som är aktiva The meaning of game music? - A qualitative interview study of World of Warcrafts soundtrack and its effect on adolescent's musical taste The purpose of this study is to investigate which effect symphonic music in games has on the musical taste of adolescents. During the preparatory research I noticed that the online-game World of Warcraft was common amongst many young players and since this ga
Research networks, new lines of inquiries, the language for such inquiries, authorship collectives and more are formed through participation in backstage practices such as conferences, symposiums, workshops etc. If we agree on the constitutive role of such practices in shaping international law (IL) as a field of knowledge and of course making of a career in scholarship then the very material cond
Aims Among acute coronary syndromes (ACS), ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has the most severe early clinical course. We aimed to describe the effectiveness and safety of P2Y12 receptor inhibitors in patients with STEMI based on the data from contemporary European ACS registries. Methods and results Twelve registries provided data in a systematic manner on outcomes in STEMI pati
Grunderna i cancerbehandling är kirurgi, strålterapi och behandling med cancerläkemedel, ofta i kombination med varandra. Regimer med cancerläkemedel som definierar det eller de läkemedel som används, deras doser, hur ofta och hur länge de ska ges, har utvecklats och används för olika cancerdiagnoser. Flera professioner inom sjukvården är involverade i behandlingen: läkaren som ordinerar läkemedleThe basics in cancer treatment are surgery, radiation therapy, and treatment with cancer drugs, often combined. Chemotherapy regimens that define the drugs used, the dosage, the frequency and duration of drug administration, have been developed and used for different cancer diagnoses. Several healthcare professionals are involved in the treatment: the physician prescribing the drugs, the pharmacis
ABSTRACT: Effects of sex hormones on stroke outcome are not fully understood. A deleterious consequence of cerebral ischemia is upregulation of vasoconstrictor receptors in cerebral arteries that exacerbate stroke injury. Here, we tested the hypothesis that female sex hormones alter vasocontractile responses after experimental stroke in vivo or after organ culture in vitro, a model of vasocontract
Objectives: We aim to define whether the timing of microaxial left ventricular assist device (IMLVAD) implantation might impact on mortality in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) cardiogenic shock (CS) patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Background: Despite the widespread use of PPCI, mortality in patients with AMI and CS remains high. Mechanical circulatory su
Aims: Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) improve outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) but remain underused and are often discontinued especially in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to concerns on renal safety. Therefore, in a real-world HFrEF population we investigated the safety of MRA use, in terms of risk of renal events, any mortality and an
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but more mechanistic studies are needed. Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) can elicit a strong response in many COPD-related cell types, but no studies have been performed in lung fibroblasts. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of CSE on gene expression in lung fibroblasts from hea
While the eddy covariance (EC) technique is a well-established method for measuring water fluxes (i.e., evaporation or 'evapotranspiration’, ET), the measurement is susceptible to many uncertainties. One such issue is the potential underestimation of ET when relative humidity (RH) is high (>70%), due to low-pass filtering with some EC systems. Yet, this underestimation for different types of EC sy
”All min strävan under denna skoldag – som ett jordeliv utgör – har varit att så mycket som möjligt främja det mänskliga broderskapets förverkligande på vår lilla jord.”Med dessa ord sammanfattade Nelly Thüring (1875–1972) sin livsfilosofi när hon vid 94 års ålder blev intervjuad av Socialdemokratiska kvinnoförbundets tidskrift Morgonbris. Som resetalare hade hon varit med och byggt upp det nystar
Making It Home: An Aesthetic Methodological Contribution to the Study of Migrant Home-Making and Politics of Integration (aka MaHoMe) is a NordForsk-funded project involving eight researchers from universities in the UK, Denmark and Sweden. It examines how migrants make and make sense of home amidst the complex and divergent politics of integration in these three so-called “host societies”. My rol
